So, we camped here in a tent, but you can definitely get in with a smaller trailer. To access the campground and day use area you must cross a small stream. The stream is easily passed, but it swells dramatically when it rains a lot. I have seen 33 ft travel trailers pass it, but the hill that runs from the staging area to the stream is very steep. 4×4 and a lot of pedal are almost required to get up the hill if its wet.

Now, about the campground. In a word? Spectacular! Big, treed and private sites. Fantastic views and scenery. Access to the Bighorn River and the Crescent Falls is easy and breathtaking. Some sites are walk in tenting only, (3 were usable, 1 was still damaged from the floods). Our site (29) was a tenting only but you could drive your vehicle right to the entrance. It was massive. You could fit four tents in this site, and the view from the site was awesome.

Fishing is allowed in the Bighorn, but it’s a very fast river, so good luck.

There are onsite managers, and aside from doing some housekeeping around the CG, we really didn’t see much of them. The nightly fee includes a generous wheelbarrow of wood, but it isn’t sheltered, so be prepared to work with some damp wood, more than likely. The most impressive thing is the cleanliness of the pit toilets. Absolutely spotless, and they even smelled good! GOOD! A pit toilet! Not even kidding.

All in all, we could have stayed a week, if it didn’t rain for 36 hours straight. Fantastic place to camp, even in a tent. We will definitely go back.
